28 chain drives, ready to open

BMX, road and mountain bike, motorcycle and industrial roller-chain drives. Each opens in the Sprocket Designer with both sprockets and the chain around them, in 3D, every setting in place and ready to change. Every sprocket's stress was checked in the app; its card says the peak stress and safety factor. Looking for pulleys or gears? See the timing pulley samples and the gear samples.
